Arsenal‘s pursuit of the Premier League title has hit a roadblock as they suffered a surprising 1-0 loss at Everton on Saturday. James Tarkowski’s second-half header secured the win for the Toffies in Sean Dyche’s first game as manager and moved the club out of the bottom three. Arsenal’s loss has opened up the league and the race to the championship at the same time.
The defeat cost Arsenal the chance to extend their lead over second-placed Manchester City to eight points, marking only their second league loss of the season. Everton set the tone early, making it challenging for Arsenal to find their flow. Despite this, Arsenal had the first big opportunity when Eddie Nketiah missed from close range.
The match picked up pace as Dominic Calvert-Lewin nearly tapped in from Amadou Onana’s cross, while Abdoulaye Doucourés close-range header went wide. Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka’s effort was blocked off the line by Conor Coady and Calvert-Lewin’s header before halftime missed the target.
In the second half, Everton capitalized on their momentum and took the lead through Tarkowski’s header from Dwight McNeil’s corner. Arsenal attempted to equalize with Leandro Trossard forcing Jordan Pickford into a save and Saka blazing over from the box. Oleksandr Zinchenko had a late chance to level the score but his shot went over the bar. Everton held on for their first league victory since October.
